No matter what he thinks

No matter what he thinks himself, I really like the haughey.com redesign. I have much admiration for people having the patience to do round corners. Orbiting has redesigned too and manages to look like a Penguin book. Oraaaaaaaaaange…

I need to redesign, but I don’t think I can use orange now… I’d like a daily photo too, especially once I start working in the center of town, but would have to get a new digital camera first. (And I’ve spent the money I had on a new comp… that still doesn’t work) The digital camera I had broke after a few weeks, stupid cheap (but not cheap enough) little ‘Trust’ camera. I wonder when they’ll start putting out throwaway digital cameras.

Hmm, yes, ah… very modern

Hmm, yes, ah… very modern indeed. I think the French haven’t got over Minitel yet.

Because I’m logging for Europe, (right?), I subscribe to yahoo.fr’s ‘what’s new’ list so I can get some French sites on this log, but their listings are pathetic. It’s like a time warp, all the sites look like they were made in 1995.

examples from this week’s mail shot:

Need I go on? I know there are fab French sites out there, so yahoo are just not doing their job properly.

Oscar in his pocket, money

Oscar in his pocket, money in the bank: Sam Mendes is the golden boy. . DreamWorks studio is pumping £100,000 a year the Donmar Warehouse in London, Mendes’ theatre. The deal also guarantees Mendes £250,000 a year to develop movies through his own comapny, Donmar Films. But if a brilliant script comes along from another studio in the next two to three years, he is free to take it. What’s the catch? Does he have to suck Spielberg?
